Phil took this photo in the southern Chinese island of Hainan- all the tuk-tuk (motorcycle taxi) drivers her saw there were woman, and in their spare time they all make/mend fishing nets for spare cash. This is in sharp contrast to the male tuk-tuk drivers in the rest of the country who simply sleep sprawled on their bikes when they don't have a fare.

About Me

Tales from a self-proclaimed Aussie Nomad in Shanghai.
It took me all of my first 20 years to leave Australia, finally ending up in Dili, East Timor in 2000. Since then I haven't wanted to stop traveling. Yet, as simply holidaying doesn't quite scratch the travel-bug's itch, I much prefer to live, work and play in the countries I visit. In my opinion, as insane as it can make you at times, cultural immersion is much more fulfilling than a postcard holiday.
Now I am living in Shanghai, with my better half, Philippe, and 20 million others. An artist, teacher and nomad, I embarked on this latest journey in August 2005.
And like the best journeys, its final destination is a mystery.
